CBeebies greenlights American Greetings’ Tinpo

The British pubcaster has ordered a new CGI co-pro from American Greetings, Dentsu, OLM and Sprite Entertainment.

CBeebies has greenlit American Greetings Entertainment’s new CGI-animated series entitled Tinpo. The 78 x seven-minute fantasy toon is set to make its debut on the UK pubcaster in late 2018.

Tinpo is produced in conjunction with Japan’s Dentsu and OLM in association with L.A.-based Sprite Entertainment, and production is set to take place in the UK, Japan and the US. The preschool series follows heroes of the Tinpo town that design and build fun ways to solve problems in their unique world.

The news follows only days after it was announced that CBeebies’ new series Moon & Me series would be heading to China, thanks to a new deal with UYoung.
